"Last week Unite met with the @ELHT_NHS with an offer to work constructively to get a deal to resolve this strike. Instead our offer has been met with a stubborn unwillingness to end the dispute." @UniteSharon

Our Biomedical Scientist members from @ELHT_NHS commenced their third period of strike action at Royal Blackburn Hospital this morning in a dispute over unpaid wages owed by the Trust following an agreement made in 2019.

#NHS staff are owed between £8,000 and £12,000 on average after being put in the wrong pay grade between 2010 and 2019. @ELHT_NHS @ELHT_CEO #PayUp now!

On strike from tomorrow for 12 weeks. Unless the ELHT bosses see sense and give fair pay for Lancashire bio-scientists @FairPay4BioSc
It's time for the whole trades union movement of Lancashire to rally to their cause and picket lines. We want Justice 4 Workers 4 Xmas!

[Unite North West @Unite_NorthWest]

Our members employed by @ELHT_NHS are due to commence their 3rd wave of industrial action on December 15th. We now have a window of opportunity between now and then to find the resolution to this dispute and avoid further industrial action as we enter the Christmas period.

[Key Workers - Fair Pay Now @FairPay4BioSc]

Unite has called on the Trust to meet with the union. #NHS managers now have a “short window of opportunity” to finally resolve this dispute before Christmas. The Trust only needs to honour the agreement it reached with the workers back in 2019.

Big respect to our brave @UniteinHealth @Unite_NorthWest members @ELHT_NHS who have voted to take #industrialaction Meaningful discussions are needed to end this dispute. It is time for the trust to keep their promises. @BBCNWT @GranadaReports @FairPay4BioSc @IBMScience

#NHS staff at @ELHT_NHS are owed on average between £8000 and £12,000. We've been out in the community gathering support for the scientists in their bid to get paid what they are owed. #FairPay #PayUp

[Unite North West @Unite_NorthWest]

“If the strike goes ahead the blame will lie squarely with the Trust. For the patients, for staff and for the taxpayer I urge the Trust’s Chief Executive Martin Hodgson to honour the agreement and end the dispute.” - @UniteSharon.

Due to @ELHT_NHS refusal to engage with @unitetheunion & pay #NHS scientists what they are owed, we have no choice but to continue to drive the campaign forward. Here we are visiting GP Surgeries across #Burnley today.

#FairPay #PayUp #FairPay4KeyWorkers #Strike

[Key Workers - Fair Pay Now @FairPay4BioSc]

The team was out & about in #Burnley gathering support from local GP surgeries today. It's clear the biomedical scientists at @ELHT_NHS have got massive support from the local community.
This has dragged on too long, the Trust must pay these #NHS key workers what they are owed

[ColenzoJarrettThorpe @only1colenzojt]

Continuing solidarity to @FairPay4BioSc to secure #payjustice @ELHT_NHS who refuse to come to an amicable settlement despite reneging on their promises. Please continue to support these key public sector workers @IBMScience @lancstelegraph @BBCNWT @GranadaReports @Union_NewsUK

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

Lots of support for our @unitetheunion biomedical science members at @ELHT_NHS - it’s high time the Trust did the right thing. We will continue to fight for the #JobsPayConditions of our members, the Trust need to pay them what they’re owed.

[Unite North West @Unite_NorthWest]

Our biomedical scientist members from @ELHT_NHS have been fighting for their back pay for the past 24 weeks, these highly skilled staff just want what they are owed.

Our North West Health committee send their messages of support and call on @ELHT_NHS to pay what they owe.

Tonight @UCLan #Burnley Campus for their open night.

📢Professor Graham Baldwin is a board member @ELHT_NHS, he has the power to pay @unitetheunion members what they're owed.

Pay up and end the dispute now. #FairPay #KeyWorkers @Unite_NorthWest

[Key Workers - Fair Pay Now @FairPay4BioSc]

"It’s clear management is putting its own agenda before the needs of patients, staff, and the taxpayer.”
@ELHT_NHS has spent more money trying to break the strike than it would have if they just paid these key workers what they are owed!

[Unite the union: join a union @unitetheunion]

Unite general secretary @UniteSharon reaffirmed the union’s “unstinting support for @ELHT_NHS members.

“These highly skilled staff just want what they are owed. It’s time the trust did the right thing by them.”

.@unitetheunion submitted new detailed evidence to @ELHT_CEO, Martin Hodgson which supports the workers' claim of owed back pay. Evidence includes an e-mail from Martin acknowledging that the uplift to band 6 applied to the bio scientists.
